Instead of rushing around, trying to find your car keys or your other shoe, you feel relaxed and ready for the day. \u00a0Rather than skipping breakfast at home and grabbing something on the go, you actually have time to eat and enjoy something healthy.<\/p>\n
There are a couple of little things you can do daily to lay the foundation of a good day. Putting a few small habits in place can make a world of difference…<\/p>\n
Do a Little Night Before Prep<\/strong><\/p>\n Doing a few things to get ready the night before can really help to make your morning go more smoothly. \u00a0Here are a few suggestions:<\/p>\n – Cue the coffee pot to brew upon your wake up time.<\/p>\n – Plan what you’re going to wear and lay out everything you need to get dressed, including shoes!<\/p>\n – Take a look at your to do list. \u00a0Decide: what are the top 3 priorities you can commit to for the coming day?<\/p>\n – Gather what you need by the door – wallet, keys, purse, work bag, etc. \u00a0If you can’t find something, now is the time to go chase it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Eat a Good Breakfast<\/strong><\/p>\n Breakfast gets you going in the morning, so give yourself the time to make a decent one and to actually enjoy it! \u00a0Here are 16 Quick Breakfast Ideas<\/a>\u00a0to get you started.<\/p>\n Enjoy 10 Minutes of Solitude<\/strong><\/p>\n Take at least 10 minutes out of your day to relax. \u00a0Read a chapter or passage from an inspirational book. \u00a0Simply sit in the quiet and sip your coffee or tea. \u00a0Meditate.

Yup, that’s right, you get to decide how you want your day to feel, and it’s really very simple. \u00a0How do you see your day going? Do you want to feel connected to friends or coworkers? \u00a0Do you want to feel inspired? \u00a0Do you want to feel joyful? \u00a0Once you know how you want to feel, ask yourself what 2 things you can do that day to specifically connect to that feeling. \u00a0For example, if you want to feel connected at work, maybe you share a new idea in the morning meeting, or invite a new colleague out to lunch, or make a point to ask your boss about her kid’s soccer game.<\/p>\n Now it’s your turn: what are your favorite ways to start the day off right? \u00a0Share below!<\/em><\/p>\n Photo Credit: Parvin ?( OFF for a while )<\/a> via Compfight cc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you ever noticed how much better your whole day is when it starts out right?
